Nazi Fancy Dress

[LeFlump]

Is it time to relax the stigma around Nazi fancy dress? It has been over 60 years since the war ended, over 60 years since Hitler died, and we still can't handle the joke of wearing a nazi uniform.

 

Is there no occasion where dressing in an SS uniform could be considered "innocent"?

Comedians do it all the time. I don't think they receive any complaints.

see a fair bit at fetish nights, but you know what to expect there, but still not out and about on the streets. Maybe once all holocaust surviors are long gone, but even then I can imagine if would still offend many jews, and they'd have every right to be offended. Not some up in arms, faux offence but genuine offence.

yes.

 

It was a generalisation I'm sorry.

 

Maybe once all holocaust surviors are long gone, but even then I can imagine if would still offend many jews, gypsies, the disabled, homosexuals, the mentally ill, the polish, political prisoners, transexuals, and they'd have every right to be offended. Not some up in arms, faux offence but genuine offence. ( sorry if I've missed anyone off the list

Weren't the Islamic Brotherhood members of the SS too?

 

No.

 

I think you're mixing the IDF with them.

Dont even go there you, other than, obviously, allied soldiers that they were fighting against, the primary victims/targets of the Nazi's were Jews.

Whenever a fuss is kicked up about somebody famous or a public figure wearing Nazi fancy dress, I always remember Allo Allo and how funny it was, and don't see the problem.
